Kordia joins Downer EDI for northern NSW NBN

Kordia Solutions Australia has sealed a contract with Downer EDI Limited as its design partner for the northern New South Wales rollout of the National Broadband Network (NBN) to homes and business.

In February, Downer announced it had been awarded a contract for the rollout of the NBN to homes and businesses in northern NSW. The contract is valued at up to $94 million over two years, with two one-year options to extend the agreement.

Under the NBN Project, Downer is responsible for construction of the optical fibre network from the main fibre nodes to the boxes outside the home or business that allows customers to connect to the NBN’s high speed broadband network via a provider of their choice.

Kordia will be responsible for the design of the optical fibre network to each premise. The design scope includes network analysis and routing documentation for both underground and aerial components, including coordination with Telstra and electricity utilities.

Kordia previously partnered with Downer on a Queensland NBN project.
